He has worked in several high-intensity environments, including CrossFit gyms, hockey teams, and performance programs for both amateur and professional athletes. His experience also extends to coaching groups like the Superdads, where the work goes beyond training to include lifestyle balance, daily habits, and the development of long-term structure.

His approach blends exercise science, strategic planning, and direct, results-oriented communication.
